I’ve always been fascinated in the concept of things being hidden or not immediately apparent.
Perhaps the most intriguing of these “things” is people. They are directly in front of you. In plain sight. However, they are almost always hidden.
Recently I've been thinking a lot about how we only see what people want us to see of them. They get to choose exactly how much they are willing to share their life with the rest of us. This is very apparent in terms of social media, but perhaps even more interesting is the performance of physical face-to-face interactions.
Based off my feelings about “being hidden”, I have decided to produce a portraiture essay focussing on hidden faces.
